TiVo and Amazon.com
Mar. 13th, 2007 09:41 amI've been avoiding Amazon.com's "Unbox Video Download" because the terms of use on a PC, last time I checked, were fairly heinous. But now they've got their service hooked up to TiVo, so you don't have to authorize Amazon.com to do anything to your PC -- you can just let them upload movies and TV episodes to your TiVo series 2 or 3.
They've got a fairly good selection on TiVo Unbox
. You select a movie, pay Amazon.com through their regular checkout process, and they send it to your TiVo. In the case of movie rentals, you pay $3.99 and it stays on your TiVo until 24 hours after you first start watching it. So if you rented Little Miss Sunshine today and then got called out of town for a few days, you'd still have it waiting when you got back.
Not bad -- and, of course, I get a kickback. (There's your granum salis.) I haven't tried it yet, but I'll report back with the results when I do.
